I've updated the kernel from SL-OSS-factory and got the following messages:

...

Appears to be a problem with the Kernel RPM.

in the mean time drpmsync fetched a new version of perl-Bootloader

  perl-Bootloader-0.2.11-3.x86_64.rpm

which knows about the new options "--force" and "--refresh".

now the kernel update works fine, no error messages anymore.


sorry for the false report!
